The 2008 Honda Accord sedan and coupe will draw styling inspiration from the
Accord Coupe concept unveiled by Honda earlier this year.



The 2008 Honda Accord sedan probably won't look quite as aggressive as the Accord Coupe concept pictured here, but Honda will aim for more youthful styling for all its 2008 Accords.



The 2008 Honda Accord will retain front-wheel drive and four- and six-cylinder engines. It's styling is previewed here by the Accord Coupe concept.



The 2008 Honda Accord will come in sedan and coupe body styles.
Their basic look was previewed in the Honda Accord Coupe concept on display at several 2007 auto shows.

Here is how the concept car looks like:

I think this design concept is for the racing purposes... But not for the normal driving coz the body shape is almost the same with racing car....
